This year the Hungarian Grand Prix of the Formula 1 Championship will be held between 21 and 23 July. Due to the event, traffic on the M3 motorway between Budapest and Mogyoród will be subject to changes.
Drivers on the M3 motorway can also approach the circuit through the “Hungaroring” junction at km 19 and from the Mogyoród junction 23. A special lane will be separated on the emergency lane for VIP guests on the M3 motorway on the side leading out of the capital between kilometres 13–18 of the motorway. Only they can approach the circuit on this.
From Budapest, the Hungaroring can be reached via the M31 motorway from the Liszt Ferenc International Airport. If you are coming from the M5 motorway, you can drive onto the M31 motorway at junction 54 of the M0 motorway, and then, driving along M31, you can reach the circuit through the Mogyoród junction or junction 19 of the M3 motorway.
The temporary traffic rules will be indicated by yellow information signs and variable message signs above the motorways.
After the race, you can drive onto the M3 motorway through both the junction at km 19 and the Mogyoród junction. Traffic control around the Hungaroring is coordinated by the police, and in order to clear the roads around the circuit as quickly as possible, drivers are required to follow the instructions of the authorities.
On the section of the M3 motorway from Budapest to Gödöllő, longer driving times are foreseen on Saturday and Sunday morning. Traffic in the direction of Budapest is expected to increase significantly on Saturday after qualifying and on Sunday after the race, between 17:00 and 20:00.
To avoid congestion, on Sunday afternoon, drivers travelling on the M3 motorway from Nyíregyháza to Budapest should take the M31 motorway – M0 motorway from Gödöllő.
Please note that the M3 motorway can only be used after paying a toll.
We kindly remind you that the race is on the Hungaroring, not on the motorways!
MKIF Zrt. wishes you a safe journey!
